VTC 18: The Maribor wine route
This route links the vineyards close to Maribor, which reach into the very centre of this
town, to the main park, which continues into the vineyards on the Kalvarija hill. In the
old part of the town, known as Lent, there is a 400-year old vine, the oldest in the world.
